Addendum:

Syntax files are plain text files. They contain no font information. You can control the display font used in the syntax window, but that is an attribute of the syntax window, not an attribute of the saved syntax file.

Hi Sam,

The syntax editor can only have one font style at a time. If you change the size, for instance, all the sizes will change. If you copy and paste from another source it will sometimes show two styles temporily, but if you make a change it changes everything. I think you have managed to find another way to make it look like you can bold something, but you can only bold everything.

When I want to empahsize something (let's say for teaching purposes). I copy it into word.

If anyone has found a better way - please share it!

I hope that helps.
